Y’all, we have a problem.
These are some of the results of a survey done on our community concerning gender identity:
1.08% Binary Trans men (4).
1.08% Transmasculine people (4).
1.35% Cis women (5).
That’s right, there are more CIS WOMEN on a TRANS community than binary trans men or transmasculine people alone.
We have a problem.
This isn’t just a Blahaj problem. Another queer instance did a similar survey and found only 3% of their users were trans and use he/him pronouns.
Not having enough transmasc voices is going to be detrimental to our community. There are plenty of transmasc people on the internet. The problem is with Lemmy.
So what are we gonna do about it?
Honestly it’s not much of a problem to me. I mentioned it not because I’m annoyed at the transfem people, but annoyed at the lack of transmasculine people. I have gotten some genuinely helpful answers from transfems on there. I’m hoping to try and recruit some more transmascs from other platforms onto here and post more on the community.
P.s. Are you interested in helping me mod FTM? Could really use another transmasc mod
